Previous studies show that tall people have better labor market outcomes, but controlling for their abilities reduces the size of height effects. This implies that a failure to properly control for one's ability could overestimate the OLS estimate. This paper contributes to the literature by being the first to control for individual fixed effects (FE) and to examine height effects on the probability of one's attaining a leadership position. The data used are panel data of a cohort obtained during the cohort's middle and high school years. In OLS estimation, this paper finds positive height effects for boys. However, when controlling for individual fixed effects, the estimate is not statistically significant. For girls, the height effects are found on neither OLS nor FE model.

We find that there is the height premium in the Korean labor market. The wage increases by 1.5% with a centimeter increase of height among male workers of ages 30-49. This estimate is barely affected by family backgrounds such as a worker's father's education or occupation. It is rejected that a worker's height is a proxy variable for his health, which increases his wage. The height premium is unrelated with obesity. It is not also supported that a worker's height affects his wage through his occupational choice. We partly confirm that a worker's height affects his wage through his educational choice. The estimated height premium of 30's in Korea is comparable to that of age 33 in Great Britain.

본 연구에서는 국내 자본시장의 개방이 광범위하게 진전된 1997년 외환위기 이후 기간을 대상표본으로 하여 한국주식시장에서 달러환위험에 대한 노출과 그 가격화 여부를 실증분석한다. 본 연구에서는 투자자들이 국내 주식시장 및 채권시장의 동향에 추가하여 미국신장의 움직임을 중요한 조건부 정보에 포함시켜 투자의사결정을 한다고 전제하고, 이에 상응하는 조건부 다중 베타위험 가격결정모형을 검정하였다. GMM추정의 초과식별조건을 이용하여 국내시장위험과 달러환위험 두 위험 요인을 포함한 가격결정모형의 모형설정오류를 검정한 결과 가격결정모형이 실제 주식수익률 자료와 배치되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 조건부 달러환을 베타위험과 조건부 달러환위험 프리미엄은 모형에서 사전적으로 설정한 정보대용변수인 상수항과 한 시점 앞의 다우존스 주가지수 수익률, 국내시장 주가수익률 및 회사채 유통수익률에 의하여 설명이 이루어질 수 있고, 둘 다 시간가변적임이 결정되었다. 주식가격결정에 참여하고 있는 두 요인, 국내시장위험요인과 달러환위험요인의 상대적 중요성을 개략적으로 검정한 결과, 모든 포트폴리오에 걸쳐 국내시장위험요인이 더 큰 비중을 차지하고 있지만, 달러환위험요인도 무시할 수 없는 중요성을 가진 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of human milk fortifier (HMF) on growth and nutritional status in growing rats fed infant formula supplemented with HMF. Three week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups and fed regular formula (RF), premature formula (PF) and regular formula fortified with HMF (RF+HMF) diets for 3 weeks. There was no significant difference in weight gain among groups. However, a significant increase of food intake was observed in PF and RF+HMF groups compared with RF group. With increasing food intake, the intakes of carbohydrate and protein were significantly increased in PF and RF+HMF groups. The weight of perirenal fat was significantly increased in rats fed RF+HMF; however, the weights of liver, kidney and spleen were not significantly different among groups. Although total lipids, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol concentrations of serum were not significantly different among groups, triglyceride was significantly increased in PF group. The triglyceride and total-cholesterol of liver were significantly increased in rats fed regular formula fortified with HMF and PF compared with RF group. Glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), creatinine (Cre) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in serum showed no significant difference among groups. The concentration of growth hormone was significantly increased in PF group compared with other groups. The concentration of hemoglobin was significantly increased in rats fed PF and RF+HMF. These results suggest that the supplementation of human milk fortifier in growing rats may promote growth as increasing food intake and lipid contents in tissues and prevent the anemia of infants.
